Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Sarawak, has no intention to rejoin BN for the time being as it prepares for the 12th Sarawak state election.
PBB senior vice-president, Fadillah Yusof (above) said to date, the party is maintaining its stand to stay with the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) political alliance.
"Now we are in the federal government and have strong cooperation with Perikatan Nasional (PN) which is a coalition of MPs from Bersatu and PAS, as well as Umno and BN components.
"For us, what is important is to focus on Sarawak itself in the context of development and the rights of Sarawak under the 1963 Malaysia Agreement. We will stay with GPS but will cooperate with all parties,” said Fadillah who is Senior Minister of Works.
He was speaking to reporters after launching the 2021-2025 Works Department (JKR) Strategic Plan here today.
PBB left BN after the 14th general election.
Apart from PBB, the three other parties in GPS are Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP), Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS), and Parti Demokratik Progresif (PDP).
The 11th Sarawak state election was held on May 7, 2016, and the next state election will have to be held by July next year.
